This blue Keurig is beautiful and does not leak! What joy, to replace our old machine with this beauty. I gave it to my husband as an anniversary gift. Seriously, we like our coffee! He drinks his diluted, pushing the large mug image. I drink mine strong, pushing the small mug image. And when our kids come home, they like the midrange. So we all are happy sippers.
We had a Nespresso machine for years and while I liked the convenience of a fresh cup, I hated the restricted choice of coffees. There was no French Roast!
With the Keurig, I order organic coffee from San Francisco Bay Gourmet Coffee and it comes in recyclable cups, which endears me to my environmentalist son-in-law.

Doesn't have all the fancy 2 part mixes like some of the other machines I was considering but given how fun creamers are now I am not missing it. Set up was quick, looks nice and clean, brews quickly. Happy with the machine and the trail set of flavors. Would definitely purchase again. Also shipped FAST!
Also bought a 'mind reader' drawer set for underneath and did post review on it. Good enough and looks nice but doesn't slide smoothly and is more plasticy feeling than I was expecting... especially for the price.

The K45 may not have all the bells and whistles the 2.0 has. But it also doesn't come with an "oops" message when I brew a cup of coffee that "I" want to brew. I have enough regulations in my life without it coming from my coffee maker. Nor do I feel the need to outsmart the engineers at Keurig by cutting the top off a accepted K-cup to place on top of a non-approved K-cup when brewing. When I wake up, I want a cup of coffee not a silly marketing hassle. The K45 is replacing a K40 model that has served our house hold very well for many years. The water pump was just about to go. It sounded like a squirrel cutting walnuts with a chainsaw. So instead of waiting for it's last cup to be brewed, it's Amazon to the rescue. The K45 seems to be quicker and much much more quiet. If you feel the need to to keep up with the Jones', or have your coffee maker dictate what you can or can't drink or even launch missiles from your kitchen, you may need to go with the 2.0. But if you just want a cup of coffee from what ever K-cups "you" decide to buy, the K45 is perfect.

Update. I love love my Keurig! But! It all of a sudden went crap on me and was making some concerning noises and wouldn't produce a cup of coffee!!! I was immediately angry because I thought it cost too much to have it fail as quickly as it did!!! So, I contacted Amazon which they directed me to the mfg. Ooooo! Keurig customer service is awesome first of all. But we trouble shooted. I just needed to use a paper clip to poke in the upper and lower metal needles. Found a bit of gunk that came out. Was instructed to full tank and run two large cups just with water. (That pushed through any left over junk). Then run a cup of coffee. After that my Keurig works like new again.
Just thought I should share this info so you don't get upset too when this happens. I'm sure Keurig would be thankful I shared it too! Haha I should get a coupon on coffee now that I think about it. Totally kidding! Really just wanted to share it so no one else freaked out like I did.

Keurig K45 Elite Single Cup Home Brewing System I studied most all of these Keurig coffee makers. It was a very hard decision. I almost chose the cheapest one that you could use in an office. I am not really a coffee drinker; or wasn't before this. My mom had a doctor appointment several months back. In the waiting area was a Keurig and a carousel with all different kinds of coffee, chia latte, cappuccino and even tea. I have never used one before. But, I tried it, and it couldn't have been easier! I couldn't believe that I could choose from so many different types, take one, put it in the machine, push a button, and voila! I was obsessed with Keurig from that moment on. I knew I wanted to buy one from Amazon. I did not know that there were so many models to choose from! I kept going back and forth, wondering which one would be best for me. Finally, I decided that I was deserving of a good one that I felt would last. I did read so many customer reviews. They only confused me. This one is perfect! I used it for the first time today. There was a new water filter with it plus 12 different K-cup brands to try. I thought that was a special touch. You deserve to pamper yourself once in a while.... go for it!

With so many reviews, I don't have much to add. Mine works great, and the coffee is exceptional ...
One tiny thing: I turn the unit off at night, so in the morning, first thing I do is switch it on so it can warm up. I then make a first cup within just a few minutes. That first cup is never quite as hot as the next ones that are brewed once the machine has been on for a half hour or more.
I have seen some suggestions that some K Cup machines are slow, especially at start up. This one does not suffer from that, and it is ready to brew the first cup after being turned on for about 60-90 seconds.
Otherwise, good quality, easy to use, simple buttons without all the fuss of digital readouts.

Prior to this purchase, I did a lot of research on the different Keurig models. My husband and I don't do a whole lot of entertaining so this size seemed to be the best for us. Great choice! We each drink 2 cups of coffee every morning and this size reservoir works fine. The brewer came with a 12 K-cup sample pack, plus I ordered a 20 K-cup sample pack as well. The many reviews I had read indicated that in the beginning, you had to "kiss a lot of toads before kissing a prince", and they were right. Our preference is medium-dark coffee and it took a lot of sampling to find the right K-cup brand for us. The "Original Donut Shoppe" brand won out for us. A lot of the bold and extra bold were too bitter and a lot of the light-medium ones were too weak.
One of the reasons I was interested in the Keurig was the ability for me to have flavored coffee and my husband could stick to his black, without my using flavored Coffeemate. So far I have been disappointed in the flavored coffees I've tried. They just don't have enough of the flavoring and are very weak tasting. So I've gone back to my Coffeemate and add the right amount for my taste.
This review is for the Keurig itself, but I must add two more in conjunction with it: The re-usable K-cup option and the paper filter option.
In my research, I had also read many many reviews about the expense of the K-cups, all that plastic going into landfills, etc., and that many people had gone the route of the re-usable K-cup. The Ekobrew Stainless Steel Re-usable K-cup seemed to have the best comments, so I ordered 4 of them. Another great choice! It is very well made and the stainless steel is good quality. We can now use our medium-dark ground coffee we get at the grocery store. I ordered 4 so we could use a clean one for each of our 4 cups of coffee. I had read that if loose grounds were left under the lid, it wouldn't seal properly and the water flow would be affected. After each brew, after dumping the grounds, I rinse the Ekobrew in hot water and drop it into a big bowl with sudsy water to soak. When we have finished our coffee for the morning, I clean them with a toothbrush, rinse well, lightly towel dry and sit them out to finish air drying.
The product info said no paper filter was needed and we started out not using any. The coffee brewed perfectly, but after a while I got tired of the mess in dumping the grounds so I started looking at the different paper filter selections. There is one in particular that is specifically for the Ekobrew so I ordered a box of 300. And again, another great choice! The filter fits inside the Ekobrew nicely and the coffee actually brews better with it. It seems that the paper puts more resistance for the water to pass through and we get more coffee in our cup than before. (We only use the middle size on the Keurig, which is "small mug 7.25 oz".)
Summary: We love our Keurig. It took a couple of months going through the above steps to finally settle into a good coffee routine in the morning. We still keep K-cups on hand for the occasional guests. And it may sound to some people that the system of using the Ekobrew, paper filter, cleaning, etc. is too much work but I don't feel that way at all. I actually find it's not as much work as using the regular coffeemaker and a whole lot less waste. By the way, I had also ordered a K-cup storage drawer along with the Keurig--the Mind Reader "Anchor". See that product for my review as well.

This is a GREAT machine!!! Very east to use and clean too. I love how it makes the cup of yummy very fast too. I love the hot cider and hot coco drinks, so its nice being able to make one cup. Tea is very simple to make with it too. And since I don't like coffee, I just LOVE how I can use this to make other drinks!!
By Cindy Perez
I had been using this product at work and decided to purchase my own. It is definitely a good investment, especially when you also purchase the additional filter for brewing any ground coffee. Definitely a must have for coffee lovers.
